Offer it up

[Spiderman]

It's spring cleaning where I'm at. I've been cleaning the sink and toilet, mopping, sweeping, dusting, and laundry. All of this can be an offering to your Deity. Whatever you do, especially if it is unpleasant, can be a meritorious offering to your god or the spirits you are devoted to. Offer them every work, joy, sacrifice, annoyance, irritation, and every tear, groan, and sigh. Offer it up! I find it to sometimes transform sorrow, agony, and bitterness into peace and joy.

Saint Therese of Lisieux became a Saint doing small labors and little things with great love.

How about this idea instead? Offer any merit you receive for doing things to all people--or even to all sentient beings. So in effect, you are not spiritually rewarded for doing these things, but all sentient beings are spiritually rewarded. That's what we do in Mahayana Buddhism.

Sounds good to me

I'm sorry; I don't mean to give the impression that your idea isn't good.

You didn't offend me. Have a peaceful day! Keep up the good work!

I think that any act one performs with good--spiritually pure--intentions is spiritually beneficial.

Agreed!

And so, does that mean that since my God is Bacchus, I can just kick back with a bottle of vino and watch you and the other suckers work, while I laugh and get buzzed?

Sweet!

Thanks. Do you do motorcycles? Mine needs washed. Let me know.

Cheers.

Yes - we could all afford to be a little kinder & more compassionate!

Namaste

Well you could do that. Or you could clean your house up and throw a party as a reward to yourself and a sacrifice to Bacchus. Nothing says 'devotion to a the god of drunkenness, freedom & raucous music' like throwing a *****in' shindig for other people to get tanked at.

Oh yes! Cleaning toilets for Jesus. Sickest idea I've seen in a long time.
